Sara Schaefer

"Sara Schaefer's Video Gaga is the closest thing that New York has to a funny music-video countdown. While a comedic Total Request Live might not sound that appealing on its own, Schaefer is a far more appealing host than Carson Daly, and the show also features sketches, videos from comedians, a musical guest, and the occasional game of 'Name that (Re-enacted) Music Video.'"
- The Onion

"Sara Schaefer is a comedian and writer, one part irrepressible transplanted Southern belle and one part jaded New Yorker (with a healthy pinch of Mary Richards tossing her beret)...Her wonder, curiosity, and glee make this show much more fun than anything you'd catch on basic cable."
- Amelia David, Backstage

New York Post Hot List, January 6, 2005

Winner, Emerging Comics of New York Award, Best Host of a Variety Show 2004

"In her biweekly talk show, Sara Schaefer expertly doles out late-night parody and late-night tribute with a measured hand. A financial analyst at a law firm by day, by night Schaefer invites musical guests and celebrities (both real and of the Law & Order variety) into the partitions of her cubicle, where she relentlessly interviews them. The result is a compelling, funny take on the boxed-in conventions of both television and office work."
- The Onion

"Schaefer is way more into you than Conan or Leno is."
- TimeOut New York Critic's Pick

"'Obsessed' might be the wrong word. 'Spastic' is more like it, but in a nice, kid-sister sort of way. Her hyper-kinetic routine is what makes her endearing, honest."
- Lionel Beehner, The New York Press

"Sara Schaefer's show is charming, funny, sweet, and nutty. Just like her. In addition to her comedic talents, she's an excellent spastic dancer -- her movements are a strange combination of the nerdy and the erotic."
- Jonathan Ames, author of What's Not to Love? and Wake Up, Sir!

"In a city where so many people are trying to out-cool each other, Sara wears her obsessions on her sleeve - literally...With her co-writers cast as officemates, she includes everything from special guests to giveaways, along with her own offbeat, humorous, and hugely enthusiastic personality."
